About the role

About

We’re hiring a Senior Firmware Engineer to join a growing engineering team focused on next‑generation smart consumer devices, including connected appliances that integrate embedded firmware, sensors, cameras, and AI‑driven features.

This is a hands‑on senior individual‑contributor role with real ownership across product development, from early design through production and sustaining.

What you’ll be working on

  • Designing and developing embedded firmware in C/C++ for MCU‑based products
  • Working closely with hardware, UX, and product teams on new device development
  • Contributing to smart appliance features, including sensor‑ and camera‑enabled functionality
  • Owning firmware for control systems, state machines, safety features, and peripherals
  • Debugging and troubleshooting at the hardware/firmware boundary (schematics, scope, logic analyser, JTAG)
  • Improving code quality, performance, reliability, and maintainability
  • Supporting testing, validation, and production ramp‑up

What we’re looking for

  • 8–12+ years of experience in embedded / firmware engineering
  • Strong proficiency in C / C++ on ARM‑based microcontrollers
  • Experience with RTOS (FreeRTOS or similar)
  • Solid understanding of UART, SPI, I²C, and other common peripherals
  • Comfortable collaborating with electrical engineers and reading schematics
  • Experience on electromechanical, consumer electronics, or control‑system products is a plus
  • Ability to clearly explain design decisions and past technical work

Work model & benefits

  • Hybrid working model (typically 1–2 days onsite per week)
  • Competitive base salary up to $175,000 (flexible for the right candidate)
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Stable, long‑term product roadmap with multiple projects to engage with

If you’re a senior firmware engineer looking for challenging embedded work, real product ownership, and a flexible hybrid environment, we’d love to speak with you.
